North Italia happy hour pairs Italian small plates with spritzes, wine and cocktails. Scottsdale’s current fall menu has two food price tiers, plus separate snack-and-drink bundles. Other locations can have a different menu, so choose your restaurant before planning an order.

North Italia Happy Hour Menu With Prices
These tables cover Scottsdale’s current fall happy-hour menu, not nationwide prices. Menu items, offers and times vary by location; tax and gratuity are additional. Calories below come from the linked happy-hour menu and refer to the listed serving.
| $10 food | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Zucca Chips | $10 | 600 |
| Cacio e Pepe Arancini | $10 | 690 |
| Garlic Knot Sliders | $10 | 900 / 1,000 |
| Sicilian Meatballs | $10 | 330 |
| Grilled Mortadella Skewers | $10 | 800 |
| Margherita Flatbread | $10 | 900 |
| Double Pepperoni Flatbread | $10 | 940 |
The sliders have two published calorie values; confirm which preparation you are ordering. The flatbreads are happy-hour entries, not a blanket discount on every pizza on the regular menu.
| $12 food | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| White Truffle Garlic Bread | $12 | 1,370 |
| Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast | $12 | 520 |
| Fritto Misto | $12 | 690 |
| Prosciutto di Parma | $12 | 610 |
| Baked Burrata alla Diavola | $12 | 680 |
For a light order in dollar terms, one $10 plate keeps the food subtotal predictable. For a shared spread, combine a flatbread with one of the $12 plates instead of assuming a dinner entrée qualifies for happy-hour pricing.
The regular lunch menu and happy-hour menu are separate lists. A dish with a similar name may have a different serving, accompaniment or price. Use the bar menu when ordering, especially for sliders, meatballs and flatbreads.
Cocktails, Spritz, Wine and Beer
| Craft cocktail | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Sicilian Margarita | $12 | 240 |
| Pomegranate Mule | $12 | 210 |
| Diavolo | $12 | 210 |
| Espresso Martini | $12 | 360 |
| Turino Old Fashioned | $12 | 270 |
The craft list includes tequila, gin, mezcal, vodka and rye-based choices. The margarita uses citrus and agave; the mule includes ginger beer; Diavolo has a chili-and-spice profile. These prices apply to the named happy-hour drinks, not every cocktail on the dinner list.
| Spritz | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| New Italian | $10 | 140 |
| Meet Me in Capri | $10 | 230 |
| Hugo | $10 | 250 |
New Italian combines Aperol with citrus and prosecco. Meet Me in Capri uses limoncello and elderflower, while Hugo adds herbs to an elderflower-and-prosecco base.
| Featured wine or beer | Happy-hour price |
|---|---|
| Grillo — Feudo Montoni Timpa | $10 glass / $35 bottle |
| Greco di Tufo — Villa Matilde | $10 glass / $35 bottle |
| Barbera — Marchesi di Gresy | $10 glass / $35 bottle |
| Negroamaro — Li Veli Pezzo Morgana | $10 glass / $35 bottle |
| All beers | $5.50 |
The wine offer names four featured Italian wines. It does not make every bottle on the full wine list $35. The menu gives 140 calories for a featured wine glass and 630 for a bottle; individual beer calories are not specified on this happy-hour sheet.
Zero-Proof Happy Hour Drinks
| Zero-proof choice | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Pink Slip | $8 | 70 |
| Faux Me Twice | $8 | 110 |
| Phony Negroni | $8 | 90 |
| NA Sparkling Wine | $8 | 30 |
| Sauvignon Blanc 0.0 | $8 | 30 |
Pink Slip has grapefruit and lemon, while Faux Me Twice combines non-alcoholic sauvignon blanc with fruit and citrus. Phony Negroni is the bottled-style aperitif option. The sparkling wine entry is identified as a split on the menu.
If avoiding alcohol completely is important to you, ask about the specific product and preparation rather than treating every “zero-proof” label as a guarantee about trace alcohol. For other wine alternatives, explore our non-alcoholic wine guide.
Spritz & Snacks and Sangria Social
| Bundle | Included | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Spritz & Snacks | Happy-hour spritz plus small servings of zucca chips, glazed nuts and marinated olives | $15 |
| Sangria Social | Margherita or pepperoni flatbread plus a pitcher of house-made red sangria | $30 |
Spritz & Snacks is a drink-and-snack order, not a full serving of three separate appetizers. The menu lists 100 calories for its chips, 140 for its nuts and 60 for its olives: 300 snack calories before the chosen spritz.
A $10 spritz plus a separate $10 Zucca Chips order costs $20, but that is not an equal-portion comparison with the $15 bundle. Choose the bundle for the snack trio; choose separate plates when you want their full listed servings.
Sangria Social includes one flatbread choice and a pitcher. The sangria pitcher is listed at 1,270 calories before the food. Do not read that number as the calories in one glass.
| Example Scottsdale order | Subtotal before tax and tip |
|---|---|
| One $10 food item + beer | $15.50 |
| One $12 plate + zero-proof drink | $20 |
| One $10 flatbread + craft cocktail | $22 |
| Spritz & Snacks | $15 |
| Sangria Social | $30 |
These totals are simple menu calculations, not additional promotions.

For Arizona alternatives with different food selections, compare Culinary Dropout happy hour and Thirsty Lion happy hour.
Bar Seating, Monday Wine and Ordering
Scottsdale’s menu specifies service in the bar. Ask for happy-hour seating when you arrive; a reservation for the dining room does not automatically establish eligibility for bar offers. Walk-ins are welcome, though that does not guarantee an immediately available table.
Monday wine deals are location-specific. Washington, DC’s linked menu advertises half off bottles all day Monday and excludes reserve wine. Scottsdale’s fall happy-hour sheet instead lists featured wines at $10 a glass or $35 a bottle; it does not print that Monday promotion.
Older menus may show Bottle & Board. It is not part of Scottsdale’s fall sheet used here. At Washington, DC, the linked menu still lists a $45 Bottle & Board with featured wine and a choice of specified pizza or Chef’s Board. Use the restaurant’s own menu to choose between offers.
Gluten-free choices do not mean the kitchen is gluten-free. Tell your server about allergies, particularly when ordering bread, dairy, seafood or nuts. The menu flags smoked salmon avocado toast for a raw-or-undercooked advisory. Current preparation and substitutions should be confirmed with the restaurant.
